Horse latitude- either of two subtropical atmospheric high-pressure belts that encircle the earth around latitudes 30-35 n and 30-35 s and that generate light winds and clear skies. Because they contain dry, subsiding air, they produce arid climates in the areas below them. The sahara, for example, is situated in a horse latitude.
